That came out of the blue.

Most unfortunate.

At least I can still hear her voice in the game as the HCS Voicpack "Chase" (just promoted her to "Number One").

JMS tweeted that he had known Furlan had been in poor health lately but had hoped she would improve.

Damn that's sad. She was great in Lost too.... R.I.P.

The Babylon 5 Cast is seriously cursed. It's like the fate just hated that JMS peeled back the mask to show how the world works in a scifi setting.

First one I bought, and she's remained Number One (always thought she sounded rather enthusiastic when core mining and an asteroid was blown apart).

Did a great job at nailing the mysterious character in Babylon 5 too. I'm a bit sad about this.

Mira Furlan appears along with Bill Mumy and Bruce Boxleitner (all from B5) in the 2020 web video series "Space Command" as does Robert Picardo from STNG & Voyager, Nichelle Nichols from STOS and I don't know how many other scifi actors in this kickstarter effort. Full episode 1 here:
